Plan A Plan B

Plan A and Plan B is good in bits and pieces Its worth one time watch

Some scenes are foolish while some scenes are good while some are bad Poonam dhillon is good, its entertaining to watch her good comic timing despite without good dialogues

Direction and Editing is sloppy specially in the begining 20-30 min, after that it picks up to a decent Good watch

Ritesh role is limited few Repeated expressions, Tamannah has a lengthy meaty role and she is good but again in some scenes she looked forced and trying hard

All in All its a fine experience, its not at all a bad movie!

Its Family movie with a good social message on relationship Its kind of rom com.

Plan A Plan B is a love story involving Nirali (Tamannaah) a matchmaker battling her own tragic past & Kosty (Riteish), a divorce lawyer too scared to end his own marriage. This is also the kind of film where Tamannaah acts to be a bad dancer & Riteish a best dancer. A simple done to death story of two completely opposite individuals with similar problems, finding each another, after a lot of squabble.

It definitely could have worked better if there was bit more magic in the chemistry between the two. The dialogues many a times fell flat & the film remained one toned. Being predictable was never it's problem, it just wasn't entertaining enough even with that less runtime. All those compatibility tests like pheromone test, KEOT etc.. just added onto the runtime & Poonam Dhillon as the mom was in a way wasted.

This movie is supposed to be a romcom but there is hardly any rom or com in it. It suffers from an indifferent screenplay, some lackluster and cheesy dialogue, few ridiculous situations and generally below par acting. As strong headed characters both Riteish Deshmukh and Tamannah Bhatia apparently do not have any understanding and hence the scenes lack warmth. The movie is a damp squib to put it mildly and some portions of the film are difficult to sit through. Riteish is a divorce lawyer and Tamannah is a family counselor and both are at loggerheads professionally and personally. Their scenes of professional rivalry shown are crude, childish and cringe worthy and the comedy falls flat. Some scenes lack logic and conviction. A scene in which the volunteers are blindfolded and asked to sniff out compatible partners using their sense of smell is outrageously bad. The jokes are either crude or bland or both. Both Riteish and Tamannah are disappointing big time in poorly written roles which are not convincing at all. Poonam Dhillon does what she can in a comic role as Tamannah's mother and does not impress. The lesson for the director is that you can't make a good film on weak written work. Overall it is a disappointment.

Plan A Plan B (2022) : Movie Review -

Shashanka Ghosh's Plan A Plan B brings together Riteish Deshmukh and Tamanna Bhatia as a lead pair for the first time on screen. Rom-Com is one of the most loved and simplest genres for Bollywood filmmakers, but sadly, we have seen almost every theory that could have existed in this romantic comedy world. Ghosh's comedy has a fresh pair, a fresh subject, and a fresh feel to it, but lacks the fresh storytelling. The film plays so safe that it forgets to add something of its own and rather makes you feel a little bored. However, it never falls too deep and never becomes a headache, so you at least pass the time with a relaxed smile on your face.

Kosty Chougule (Riteish Deshmukh) is a family lawyer, oops, a divorce lawyer, and an expert one, who is a happy dividing couple as per their own wishes. Nirali (Tamannaah Bhatia) is a matchmaker who runs a matrimonial service and, by chance, has her office next to Kosty. These two often fight with each other, not just because their professions are crossed, but also because their thoughts on love, marriage, and relationships differ. After a while, they both start getting along together as they learn several facts about themselves and the issues they had with their personal relationships. As you can guess, there is a fight, there is love, then there is a little misunderstanding, and then you have a happy ending.

Written by Rajat Arora, Plan A Plan B has plan A working right, but doesn't have any plan B to survive the regular typicality. The screenplay still has enough engaging moments to keep you interested in the film, and it is not that long either. For about 105 minutes, there were no such Dell moments except for a few songs. As we know, relationships are a very complicated subject and everyone has a different thought process for it, so what is there to give to different sets of minds with one story? That's a big challenge and almost an impossible job. Still, Arora has done a fairly decent job. Plan A Plan B may look rough while it wants to become tough, which didn't happen.

The performance of Riteish Deshmukh is pleasant. It's a good break for him as he plays a very vibrant guy, with his own intensity, and then there is this mix of romance and comedy in the film's genre. When was the last time we saw him in a straight-up rom-com (aside from those adult comedies)? Tamannaah Bhatia is such a pleasure to the eyes that have got bored watching other scenery. She looks stunning and plays a very relatable role, in contrast to anything cheap and downmarket she did in Babli Bouncer. Watch out for her facial expressions and romantic scenes with Riteish, and do not miss the intimate dance. In the supporting roles, Kusha Kapila, Poonam Dhillon, Bidita Bag, Prithviraj Sarnaik, Heli Vyas, and Raghav Agarwal are okay to decent.

Plan A Plan B had a scope for good music because it fell into the romantic comedy genre, which is very suitable for it. But the music isn't really that exciting and does not create any romantic vibes, even with those video songs. Watching Riteish dance his heart out and Tamannaah add glam appeal may save the dance numbers for you, but still, it has been done much better. The technical aspects, such as background score, cinematography, and editing, are fine. Director Shashanka Ghosh's storytelling lacks crispness and new flavours. However, Plan A Plan B isn't a big let down. It has some good moments that will entertain you, and some that might just teach you some lessons about relationships (if you are having any with your partner). Overall, a decent, light-hearted watch for Netflix viewers who often get to watch dark projects only.

RATING - 5/10*

The Movie is chill and romantic. There is good Spend over the weekend watching this movie. Particularly who likes Romantic movies, they should go for it.

The best part of director Shashanka Ghosh's 'Plan A Plan B' is the vibe that these protagonists share.

Riteish Deshmukh is at his best form portraying the cynical character Kosty in measured tones. Even when he and his behaviour seem strange, it's easy to root for him and his comedic timing. Tamannaah Bhatia successfully brings the vulnerability and fierceness of Nirali to the fore. Their mutual hatred adds curiosity to their characters. But what we don't see is the lead couple's crackling chemistry. Individually, they do shine in their respective acts, but nothing feels natural when they develop feelings for each other.
